St Cuthbert's Way follows the story of a 7th century saint who travelled through Scotland and northern England, spreading the Gospel and performing healing miracles. Beginning at Melrose, where the saint started his ministry, and ending at Holy Island, where he ended his days, the trail passes through scenery of great variety and beauty.
The walk takes in heather-clad hills, tranquil riverbanks and old Roman roads, visiting attractive villages and border towns along the way. Particular sites of interest include the ruin of Dryburgh Abbey, Cessford Castle, St Cuthbert's Cave and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, complete with its ruined abbey and spectacular castle.
Exploring the attractive borders towns of Melrose, Bowden and Jedburgh.
Admiring far-reaching views over the border country from the slopes of the Eildon Hills.
Spending the night on the tranquil Holy Island, with its 16th century Lindisfarne Castle and Priory, home to the Lindisfarne Gospels.

“The walk included an interesting variety of landscapes. It was well laid out and the distances walked each day were good.”Dr Matthews, UK
“We asked our B&B hosts about the companies they work with and without exception they all said that they liked dealing/working with Contours the best! I think this is a good testament to Contours.”Mrs Swindell, UK
“We really did enjoy this walk. The weather was reasonably kind to us, good walking conditions, great scenery and Contours did a great job as usual with the organisation and standard of accommodation. Well done as usual and thanks!!”Mr Pattison, UK
“We were very lucky with the weather, didn't need any of the wet weather gear we had packed. So grateful that it was carried from place to place efficiently for us. The most memorable part was walking the 4km across the Pilgrims' causeway before the tide rose. The whole route was gently undulating and varied, and on hot days walking through deciduous woods provided welcome shade. It appears this is not a well-known route and there were few other walkers. We were glad to avoid crowds. We're grateful to Contours for making the bookings at short notice and finding accommodation for us.”Dr Moss, UK
“Logistics, administration and quality of accommodation are outstanding.”Mr Bancroft, UK

“I absolutely loved it!! It was a much needed holiday!! It was so wonderful to do this, to have everything taken care of, and all of it was wonderful, and every detail was taken care of. Thank you so much for this amazing experience!! It made so much of a huge difference to just set up the dates and select the passage, and have every detail from a place to stay Monday night till a place to stay till Monday morning. Every host was amazing. Each taxi company was wonderful, kind, warm, wonderful!! It made doing this experience on my own so wonderful and not nearly as daunting as it could have been.”Rev Smith, UK
